Sociology 001 (Richardson): Selected Web Sites

Provides a list of resources on how to pursue health and medical research based on the movie, Lorenzo Oil. Also includes an outline of the lecture, and suggestions of databases to use for research in the field of Sociology.

Founded by the Odones, this non-profit organization continues to provide information resources for parents of children suffering from leukodystrophies such as Adrenoleukodystrophy. Includes biographical information on Augusto, Michaela, and Lorenzo.

How would the Odones search Google? Most likely they would start with a Library web site, the National Institute of Health (and their web sites such as Pubmed and Medline Plus), but they would also eventually do a Google search to find more. They would likely used the Advanced Search option, weed out .coms (unless they're looking for companies that have oleic or rapseed oils), and carefully use different subject terms and terminologies.
